Floyd’s Journey – 2001: A Space Odyssey – Orbiter Space Flight Simulator

“As far as he knew, it was the first time that an entire mission had been set up to take a single man to the Moon.” — From Arthur C. Clarke’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, Section 2 ‘T.M.A.-1’, Chapter 7 ‘ Special Flight’


Today on Discovery Enterprise I would like to direct your attention to another fantastic Orbiter Space Flight Simulator add-on entitled “The World of 2001” which brings to life the 2001 Universe of Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick.
Today’s Orbiter video offering depicts Heywood Floyd’s Journey from the Earth to Clavius Base on the Moon. You can download a better motion picture quality version of this video from the video section of the “World of 2001” website.

I am looking forward to the day when a RAMA add-on is created for this fantastic spacecraft simulator.
